Wisdom From Above: 10 Days in the Book of Proverbsনমুনা

Wisdom’s Invitation

When we stop resisting the facts, we can yield to what God is saying. When our hearts resist listening to wisdom—even when it comes from places and people we would normally reject—we let pride keep us from growing in understanding. If we will humble ourselves before the Lord and listen for where his voice is and what it is saying, cynicism, judgment, and dismissiveness have no place.

Let’s look to the Lord and acknowledge that he knows far better than we ever could. He loves more fully, heals more completely, restores more readily, and forgives like no one else. If left unchecked, overconfidence and self-importance can keep us from growing in wisdom. Wisdom calls us to trust God, submit to his mercy, and offer it to others. Is this the wisdom that we follow?

Holy Spirit, I humble myself before you. Correct me, redirect me, and open my heart to understand your ways. I trust you.
